We are a group of kids from Cuesta College who played together in combos. We started our own traditional jazz band. Our members come and go, we are irregular, but the core group consists of:
Dean Krikorian, Alto & Tenor Sax (Founder)
Emily Franklin-Clark, Vocals, Piano, Guitar
Matthew "Mingus" Evans, Bass & Vocals
Kenneth Davis, Percussion, Melodica, Kitchen Sink
Krystyn Michaud, Percussion Euphonium
Talia Ortega-Phillips, Flute, Alto Sax, Vocals
Our music seeks to blend sophisticated jazz with traditional jazz, particularly in developing complex harmonics. We all apply our musical training in the form of original compositions and arrangements. As with jazz, everything is subject to improvisation. We just like playing together and blending new musical ideas every time we play. We are all versatile and play several instruments. this just means more combinations of cool sounds. Music is fun to us, like a playground. We hope you agree.
Welcome to our Band Blog! Here we share our stories, set lists, liner notes, sing-along lyrics, & upcoming gig info.
